It's one size within the broader Kurenai (紅) line, which spans ten different profiles so the same steel and construction can cover nearly every task in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Steel Core Built for Heavy Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a single-material blade, this Santoku uses a 3-layer construction: a molybdenum vanadium core sandwiched between two layers of 13-chrome stainless steel. The outer layers handle corrosion resistance, while the MoV core is what actually holds the edge — meaning less frequent sharpening even under high-volume, day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSharpened by Hand in Japan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach blade in the Kurenai line goes through hand-sharpening at its source factory in Japan before it ships. That step is what gives it a consistent, ready-to-use edge straight out of the box, rather than requiring a first sharpening before it performs the way it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Handle Built for the Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Western tang for a solid, dependable grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany wood with deep, warm coloring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless bolster for added balance and a clean finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiveted construction built to hold up under daily kitchen use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Worth Using\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Santoku profile flexible enough for meat, fish, and vegetables alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolybdenum vanadium core that keeps its edge through heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant 3-layer construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished and sharpened by hand in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany handle with a professional Western fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a knife meant to be used, not displayed — Japanese blade construction paired with a handle shape most Western-trained cooks already find familiar, built to hold up shift after shift rather than just look good in a block.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginza Steel Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122776055991,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/6439\/5191\/files\/REG-KUR-SN-MG-170-00_734a606b-1388-410a-bf04-d5543488dab5.webp?v=1788781599","url":"https:\/\/ginzasteel.com\/fr\/products\/ginza-steel-kurenai-santoku-knife-170mm-molybdenum-vanadium-steel","provider":"Ginza Steel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
